    Yes, pie was an obvious direction to go, since (1) 7 pages on fruit, so time for dessert, and (2) pie is fruity, so clearly on topic. I was wondering how long it would take . . . .

    Personally, my favorite is concord grape pie, pure ambrosia, but I don't have a photo.

    I eat fruit every single afternoon for my snack. I'm going to have to figure something out because I've been eating watermelon and pineapple ALLL summer long and this week, they both suck. It's very disappointing. :'( What fruits are good now? Apples? Apples are stupid.

    Apples with peanut butter. Apples chopped with cinnamon and a little honey and heated real quick. Apples and cheese. Apples and cheese and wine. Apple cider. Hard cider. Apple pie. Hasselback Apple. Apple kugel. Apples are fabulous!!

    Nothing important to add because everyone has already said it. I just wanted to add some yummy Apple love. Especially since they are both yummy and fascinating.

    so.. you like, chop apples up with cinnamon and honey and then what? Can you just stick that in the microwave? I have never done much with apples besides just eat them lol.

    eta oo I just found this via google. This sounds good, I might replace my watermelon/pineapple snack with this, and put a dollop of whipped cream on it. Mmmmm.. I guess apples aren't so stupid.

    That's pretty much it except I usually use honey.

    This thread had now devolved into me needing to bake a bunch of pies.

    i've never heard of this....now i'm curious!

    Pain to make: Squeeze the middles out of the skins, chop the skins, cook the middles, strain or foley food mill the middles to lose the seeds. So worth it, though. My recipe says it's best warm, but it's actually best day 2, after it melds and mellows.

    It's nearly the season, here. Now I'm wondering if I can beat the raccoons to my concords. Experience says "no" . . . the masked gang seems to like them a little tarter than I do. ;)

    I was wondering if there was some sort of skinless, seedless Concord grape...

    Heaven is unexpectedly running into a patch of grapes while walking in the woods in the fall. Surprise grapes taste the best!

    Honeycrisp apples, cold out of the fridge?!? AH-mazing. Red Delicious - hard pass.

    Another Yes vote on honey crisps, which my local apple farm started carrying a few weeks ago, and another No vote on red "delicious".

    There were times when my dinner consisted of a whole pomelo. Can't wait for winter!

    It's never a wrong time of day to eat fruit. Fruit is the last thing you want to worry about overeating

    Lol.. eat it whenever you want. However, some fruits offer different benefits and macro profiles.
